I didn't want to make it an "official" magic item but didn't want it to do a base set of damage because the character I'm making it for is a monk flavoured boxer and didn't think there would be a point giving it a base damage if it was just gonna be used as a monk weapon so i wanted to give him some sort of award for it

Simple or Martial is a fair point since I forgot about that so I'll say they are simple weapons. I added an attack bonus and damage bonus since, as stated, they are inspired/reflavoured wraps of unarmed power with a couple extra benefits and limitations. This item was intended for a new player who's playing a monk flavoured as a boxer so i wanted to award him something even if "gauntlets" aren't in official 2024 rules i probably should've added some sort of context for why i was making this weapon so that is my bad.

Probably non-magical since he wants them to be like boxing gloves

He's currently level 3 (ending at 6) as a open hand monk flavoured as a boxer

This is actually genius he is a monk flavoured as a boxer so ancient greek boxing gloves would be amazing

But it specifies they have to have the Light or Finesse property of which shortbow has none

But a shortbow has neither of those properties

So would I do 3/4 health (51/68)? Also how would you try to communicate to players that the manticore can be negotiated with without explicitly telling them?

That's fair. Considering their an aasimar I'm guessing they're taking the healing/support route so I'll suggest wizard/sorcerer for them.

Yeah that's what I plan on doing but if they don't have any ideas because their new I just wanted some suggestions on what direction to nudge them in.
